In short - Highly recommended! Professional, well mannered, highly intelligent, knowledgeable of the process and my favorite - high morals and values.
In full - Michael was the first person I was able to get ahold of regarding my new idea. After a few email exchanges, I had the gut feeling he was going to be very easy to work with. I've never tried patenting an idea before, so naturally I had a ton of questions. He was very patient with my lengthy emails, questions/concerns and took the time to answer them completely.
I originally went in, mind & budget set that I was going for a non-provisional application because I was absolutely positive my idea was solid. I was prepared to spend the couple thousand in attorney fees it would cost. Michael easily picked up on the fact that I wasn't actually fully ready for a non-provisional and kindly brought up the idea of a provisional, being that I was still in the design stage of the product. Even though it would have been financially beneficial for him to just collect the fees and help me file a non-provisional, seeing where I currently stood with the product, he wanted to make sure I didn't get in too deep and be stuck with a patent that wouldn't fully cover my invention. Resulting in having to file another, if any changes were made (which I was tweaking the design every day). That truly says a lot regarding his morals, and who he is as a person. He greatly values his work & the people who seek his help and it shows.
We just filed yesterday for a provisional and I'm now patent pending. As the product develops and becomes it's final form during market testing & a kockstarter campaign, I have no hesitation in trusting Michael to file my non-provisional once the product is ready. He was able to take my notes & ideas I sent over, and draft it into a provisional that was far better than I expected. Now that I'm literate in the patenting process thanks to Michael, I'm very excited for the new relationship formed and will happily be returning as my brains wheels away more ideas that if like to bring to market. read more
